Shanghai’s Pudong in 1990 vs 2010

March 22, 2013 by YinYang 2 Comments

I first came across the following image at weninchina.com. The difference in 20 years is indeed amazing. Pudong in 1990 vs 2010. As a point of reference, the two large arrows point to the same building. China now needs to work hard to make those white clouds come back more frequently.

    I came across the same photo in Facebook; what I find most entertaining was the slew of comments about how the “old Shanghai” was much better, how development & skyscrapers ruined everything. You’ll find no shortage of people (especially in the west) who wants other societies to remain primitive just because they think it’s unique & quaint.

    Yup. It’s a type of post-colonialism that makes some (many?) Westerners–and even Westernized Asians–uncomfortable.
